“What Should we do About so Many Collecters?”
Daven for them. Whatever the reason is they are asking you for money. Either they legitimately need it, or figure its easier to con a few dollars from a person. Daven that hashem should give them what they need, and if you have something you can give be it monetary or an encouraging smile or word, give that too.
The charlatans are pretty easy to figure out. Like the guy who once rang my bell demanding that I give no less than $180, or the guy who waltzed into the living room and plopped himself down on the sofa when only my wife was home, wouldnt take ten dollars and only when my wife called 2 neighbors and threatened to also call shomrim and the police, did he get up to leave, not before he offered some choice parting words.
